The Blalock Mexico Project is a collaborative effort by descendants of the Blalock Mexico Colony (BMC) to construct a detailed history of the Blalock Mexico Colony. The project is a work in progress. Historic accounts, documents and images will be added regularly to this site. Our goal is to document this extraordinary colonization undertaking by digitally archiving, for future generations, the information that tells this incredible story.

The story will become available in sections starting with the formation of the colony and continuing to the present, following the major progression of events that chronicle the account. An overview of each section will be available from the relevant web link, and a detailed narrative will be published by chapter in the Blalock Mexico Colony e-book found at this site.

Our intent is to collect, scan, save and link to digital copies of BMC organizing documents, purchase agreements, deeds, stock certificates, newspaper articles, photographs, maps, oral and written histories, letters, recollections and colonists’ claim files. Claim files compiled by colonists and their representative were submitted to the United States Government Claims Commissions investigating losses sustained by Americans in Mexico during the Mexican Revolution of 1910-20. These files contain colonists' affidavits, lists and values of household goods, livestock, farm equipment, orchards and descriptions of homes and property. Also included in the files are American Government reports, letters and telegrams to and from colonists and between government entities in the United States and Mexico.
